Tonight, Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated HJK Helsinki 0: 3 and secured a ticket to the next stage of the Conference League.
Brandley Quass (22), Lingman's self (65) and Matan Hozz's bomb in overtime arranged a light 0: 3 for the Yellows in Bloomfield, raising the balance to 10 points at the top of the house.
Lasek Lynch also won (0: 2 over Alskart) and climbed to 10 points in second place - and the meeting between the two in about three weeks will decide who will actually rise from the top.

The significance of the position is especially important in the new UEFA factory: the first place will go directly to the round of 16, while the one who finishes in second place will have to face one of the relegated ones from the Europa League - not an easy task, no matter who the opponent is.
